The ministry of commentator is relatively new in the Church's liturgical tradition. While mention is made of the ministry in liturgical documents priort to the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) the role has developed since then to serve the goal of full, conscious and active participation mandated by the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (1963) arts. 14,29-30.

Commentators can exercise a helpful ministry by leading people in their responses, particularly during liturgies attended by large numbers of people who do not come to Mass regularly (e.g. at Christmas, Easter and funeral liturgies) and during the introduction of liturgical changes that occur from time to time.

Readers serve to proclaim the readings during the Liturgy of the Word and Prayers of the Faithful.

We provide trainings to new and experience volunteers who may want to serve as Commentator or Reader.
